PARKE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MANAGERS MADISON SQUARE SOUTH, NEW YORK 1919 THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES AND DIRECTS ALL DETAILS OF ILLUSTRATION TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY THE BENGUIAT COLLECTIONS The Messrs. Vitall and Leopold Benguiat of New York and Paris have consigned to the American Art Association, to be sold under its invariable terms of an unrestricted and unprotected public sale, their entire extensive stock of rare and beautiful antique textiles and embroideries, thereby affording to museums, connoisseurs and collectors an opportunity beyond that which has ever been given to acquire objects of the greatest rarity and beauty, and in a condition splendid as to all and perfect as to most. 1 | | ae hic oe Zr Many of these artistic productions, dating as they do from the 15th to the 18th centuries, are no longer procurable not only on account of the economic and political conditions arising out of the Great War but more especially by reason of the impossi- bility of finding specimens of equal artistic merit or rarity on sale either in Europe or the Orient. There is but little in the collections that cannot be put to artistic utilitarian use, and for this purpose especial attention is called to a number of magnificent curtains and beautiful old materials for wall covering which formerly embellished ancient palaces and chateaux and which are desirable for use in present day city and country homes. The Sumptuous Ecclesiastical Embroideries and Palace Hangings, the Notable Tapestries, the Beautiful Old Genoese and other rare Velvets, the Cloth of Gold and Silver Thread Brocades, the Superb Antique Silks and Satins, the Gothic Renaissance and other Laces, the Gros Point, Petit Point and other Embroideries, represent probably every known stitch of the embroiderers and weave of the hand looms of practically all peoples of all nations of Europe, Asia and Africa. Resplendent in color, beautiful in form, artistic in design, complete in workmanship, giving in every piece evidence of the love of the beautiful and the patience and tireless toil of the craftsman, thus can one describe these wondrous things, which through years of seeking in every market of the world, the Messrs. Vitall and Leopold Benguiat have brought together to be now dispersed for the enriching of the museums and homes of this country. To speak of particular objects in the catalogue which here follows, is but to pick at random amongst gems without number. The Gothis Velvets are many, some delightful for their single color, others exhibiting the vigorous, beautifully drawn patterns of Venice, with grounds of cloth of silver or gold, and the ex- tremely rare “Bouclé” stitch of gold on the velours pattern or supplementary grounds, such as Nos. 1042 and 1182, the latter with an even added interest of a double cut pile in exquisite rose velvet. A Botticelli green Baldachino, number 1122a, fascinates with a radiance of springtime, and number 1094 is that marvel of amethyst velvet known as the Garland Cope, for which Mr. Benguiat has been able after many years to find a superb set of gold needlework orphreys. Beautiful jardiniére, cut and ciselé Renaissance velvets of Italy and France; including many graceful patterns of the Régence and Louis XVI periods, are abundantly represented by numerous magnificent sets of por- tires and smaller pieces of varied and entrancing weaves and colors; a set of jardiniére velvet screen panels, number 1046, of the Louis XIII period, is unusual in pattern and delightful in color, and there are beautiful old velvets in quantities sufficient for wall coverings. Among the Persian and Chinese velvets is a sumptuous flame- pink palace hanging, number 1121a, a positive triumph of weaving and color. Gothic England is represented by rare and beautiful Opus Anglicum, including the truly magnificent orphreys, numbers 1036 and 1091. Early Venetian and Spanish productions are represented, notably by the orphreys of the Garland Cope already referred to, and especially by numbers 1081, 1082, 1088 and 1093. There are Spanish embroidered silk and velvet banners, also numerous sets of curtains, lambrequins, large coverlets, table panels and cushion covers, of dexterous execution and splendid color and of almost every clime and period. Rare Venetian and French brocades of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Italian, French and Spanish silk damask and brocatelle in sets of portiéres, coverlets and panels of the distinguished patterns and colors of the Renaissance period, compel attention for their decorative qualities. ° The sixteenth century Spanish and Italian filet lace lattice curtains and covers, many exhibiting amusing fantastic animal motives, are admirably suited for use in present day city and coun- try homes. Several beautiful “Point de Venise” lace flounces and collars are of the first importance. Included with the collection of the Messrs. Benguiat are two collections which Mr. Vitall Benguiat made mainly for his per- sonal edification and pleasure, one consisting of a gathering of Judaic objects which are of surpassing interest, one of the prin- cipal objects being a diamond and pearl mounted rock crystal double Mezuzah, a gem of the Italian goldsmith’s art of the eighteenth century, and the other the famous collection of fifty- two English petit-point and stump-embroidered pictures pro- duced from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, which is of superlative merit; of this the set of twelve Elizabethan cushions, illustrating episodes in the life of King David, are unique in color and interest of design; the “Meeting of Henry VIII and Francis I on the Field of the Cloth of Gold” is of very great historic value and a most delightful production of the Tudor period, a time somewhat barrenly represented in any of the museums or among the great private collections; and one alle- gorical picture must not be forgotten, for it is said to have been worked by the hands of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots. A number of Italian and Spanish Renaissance hanging lamps in repoussé silver and plate will prove of great value to the serious decorator. Ancient tapestries, always deservedly popular, with their dignified, colorful and interesting motives, which nothing can replace, are represented by about twenty specimens, including Gobelins and Flemish of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and several painted Italian Arras panels. Among the Flemish Renaissance are two allegorical tapestries, ‘“The Rural Courts of Francis I and Henry IV,” and a Brussels panel of great beauty enriched with gold, “The Resurrection of Our Lord.” The Gobelins include a rare “Tapis de Salle 4 Manger” woven with fruit and scrolls on an unusually fine lavender-purple ground, and “The Crowning of Silenus,”’ which is very rich in coloring. Many have been those who at previous sales of the Messrs. Vitall and Leopold Benguiat have availed themselves of the op- portunity of acquiring for their homes and establishments prop- erty of the character of that contained in their present collections, opportunities which, with the dispersal of this their last offering, will never return, for with their present sale these two of the world’s greatest experts discontinue this most important part of their business, not only on account of reasons which are purely per- sonal, but because of the impossibility of obtaining to-day in any market property of the high quality and absolute genuineness which have always characterized their stock and of their unwill- ingness to deal with modern reproductions or restorations of ancient fragments. It is safe to state that never before in this country has there been such a grand display of surpassing beauty and magnificence as the collections about to be sold. CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.
